Jazz for aficionados
Nice response to the retort for "The mutual admiration society" but you failed to cover up your own tracks. One of the greatest tunes in "Jazz history" that included one of the greatest solos in Jazz History, played by one of the greatest trumpet players in jazz history, and you have the gall to throw in one of your "trite" criticisms. |
Since I have been given the honor of being quoted please allow me to clarify my comment since, honor given aside, the comment has not been correctly understood. Contrary to the accusation , I never said that, on the solo in question, Morgan spent too much time playing in the high register; nor, did I say what register he should be playing in. My comment was strictly a statement of fact. Morgan, great as he was, was not a great high note player and has never been considered to be one. Were one to speak to trumpet players that comment would be corroborated. That fact is no indication of the quality of his solo which was great as always. “Perfect”? A purely subjective call and I suspect that as is the case with most great artists, Morgan would be the first to say that it was not perfect. “One of the greatest solos in Jazz history”? That comment would probably piss Morgan off. Great improvisers will often exploit their own technical shortcomings in order to create tension in the emotional content of a solo….a good thing, musically. I suspect that “strident” is exactly how he wanted to sound at the beginning of his solo when he “spent a lot of time on the high register”. I hope that clarifies. https://youtu.be/zg9uf84hzfg |
Trying to stay away from politics, just a simple thought,,,if all that money was spent otherwise, I guess we would see less 'issues' than likes of the one that you have posted in that video on the previous page... I used to think like that, I thought, boy, what they could have done with all that money, then, as I grew older and understood more, I learned that when the Policies, the programs, the weapon systems or the actions / 'excursions' disappear, so does the money that funds them. So if you want to help with the situation discussed in my clip, you would have to go to the congress and ask for $2.4 trillion to stop the migration of Africans / Muslims into Europe. ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Sorry. A spontaneous outburst. Cheers |
Sorry, O-10; sorry that my explanation did not serve to clarify things for you. As always, and for the sake of good (better?) will in the thread, I would encourage you to consider how heavy handed and insulting some of your comments come across. Particularly ironic in this case since you, yourself, did not know that it was Morgan playing. Peace. Interesting recordings that may clarify best of all. Featuring both Morgan and Hubbard, I think the only time they recorded together: https://youtu.be/UBtqMKx28Rc https://youtu.be/_2ZiDF8GDPU |
